The Marketing Hourglass as a tool to demonstrate how a prospect becomes a customer and how the customer becomes a referral source. As an established business, the Hourglass phases help break down the sales cycle more easily so you can see the practicality and value of each step and tactic.

There are seven phases of the Hourglass and each touch point guides the customer journey.
